The principal issue of the campaign was the government's proposal to repeal the
The Conservatives fielded candidates in all but two ridings, and three of them were returned by acclamation. In 54 two-way contests, the Liberals declined to field a candidate in favour of an ally considered more likely to gain votes. There were only 15 three-cornered races, one four-way and one five-way battles.

Several Liberals, protesting their party's temperance stand, chose to stand as Independent-Liberals.[3]

The
Oke was the only UFO MPP who was re-elected as such, and he was joined by
The fracture of the UFO, together with a large number of resignations from MPPs (of which five chose to run federally in 1925, and two more in 1926) significantly changed the composition of the Assembly.
Post-election scandals
After the election, the Toronto Star reported accusations of corrupt payments during the campaign:[7]
- In Bruce South, the Liberal candidate (and former MLA in 1911-1914) J.G. Anderson consented to withdraw his nomination upon being paid $1,250 by the Prohibition Union to cover expenses related to the election.
- In Kent East, the former Progressive Candidate W.J.Cryderman stated that an unnamed Liberal had offered him $500 cash plus a Dominion government position if he withdrew his nomination.
- In Perth South, the Progressive candidate W.A. McKenzie was twice offered payments by the Prohibition Union if he withdrew his nomination. He did withdraw, but returned both cheques because of their blatant illegality.
The election in Bruce South was later declared void in June 1927.[8]

A 1925 Act provided for the redistribution of the Legislative Assembly into 112 ridings for the election.[9]
The dual-member ridings in the City of Toronto, in effect since the 1914 election, were abolished and replaced by single-member seats:
Abolished ridings | New ridings |
---|---|
| |
Split between St. David, St. George and Riverdale | |
| |
- York West.
- ^ Originally named Sherbourne in the 1925 Act; subsequently renamed in the 1926 Act.
There were other changes made to ridings elsewhere in the Province:
- Brant County and Brantford
- Bruce West was divided between Bruce North and Bruce South
- Durham East and Durham West were combined to form Durham
- Frontenac and Lennox became Frontenac—Lennox
- Grey Centre wasa divided between Grey North and Grey South
- Hamilton Centre was created from parts of Hamilton East and Hamilton West
- Huron Centre was split between Huron North and Huron South
- London was split into London North and London South
- Middlesex East was split between Middlesex North and Middlesex West
- Norfolk
- Northumberland East and Northumberland West became Northumberland
- Ottawa West was divided to form Ottawa North and Ottawa South
- Peterborough East and Peterborough West were reorganized to form Peterborough City and Peterborough County
- Wellington West merged to form Wellington Northeast
- Windsor East and Windsor West
- York West
A further Act in 1926 merged
Raney complained that the net effect of the redistribution was to transfer up to 11 seats from rural to urban voters, and thus "to secure the re-election of the Ferguson Government".[11]
